Academic Writing Coaching
Are you studying a business or management subject? Do your essays feel unclear, repetitive, or “not quite there"? With over 15 years of writing both academically and for businesses worldwide, I can help you sharpen your argument and write with more confidence.
It's not your ideas – it's the clarity
A lot of students do the reading, have decent ideas, and still get feedback like:
​
-
“Needs more critical analysis”
-
“Unclear structure”
-
“Too descriptive”
-
“Argument could be stronger”
​
That doesn't mean you're not capable. It means your ideas aren't coming through clearly on the page.
That's where I come in.
I help students take vague, messy drafts and turn them into writing that's clearer and tighter.

Why work with me?
I am not a generic essay tutor.
I bring 15 years of professional writing experience, including senior roles for multi-million pound firms and executives.
I have written for businesses such as GSK, Virgin Media, and Arsenal FC. I was also the ghostwriter for entrepreneur and Dragons' Den judge James Caan – writing everything from his newspaper columns and LinkedIn blogs, to speeches that were delivered to international audiences.
My job has involved taking complex ideas, shaping strong arguments, and writing clearly for demanding audiences.
That matters – because strong academic writing is not just about sounding formal. It's:​
​
-
Building a logical argument
-
Structuring ideas logically
-
Cutting filler and waffle
-
Making your point convincingly
Those are the skills I unlock in your work.

FAQs
What level do you work with?
Undergraduate and Postgraduate students.
What subjects do you cover?
Primarily business and management subjects. I can also help with other subjects that require arguments to be made and proven – for example English, History, and Politics.
Is this proofreading?
No. proofreading focuses mostly on grammar and small corrections. I focus on structure, argument, and clarity.
How much do you charge?
Feel free to get in touch and send me your draft so I can provide an accurate cost. Rest assured – as someone who comes from a working class background, and who has experienced first-hand the cost of being a student, I aim to be as affordable as possible.
Why choose you over ChatGPT?
​ChatGPT can be useful. But it's worth remembering that your essay will be marked by an actual human – so it's targeted human feedback you need. ChatGPT simply gives you content. I show you what's not working in your writing, and how to fix it. Things like: - Spotting where your argument disappears - Translating vague lecturer feedback into practical changes - Giving honest judgment on what to cut or rethink The goal is not to generate more words. The goal is to help you produce better writing. Don't forget – many lecturers now put essays through tools to detect AI, so relying on this actually puts you at a disadvantage!
Is this within university policies?
Yes. I am coaching you to become a better writer and improve your work, which is perfectly acceptable.
